Big Clumpy Boots please

33 replies

I saw some boots today on another mum at new school. Have spent all day thinking about them. What are they?

They were long ones, kneelength? with a mahoosive heel - think BIG and square, NOT high. Nooo can't have high heels as have erksome feet.

So clumpy, big old hoofs for winter - anyone know the sort of thing and where they come from please??

irksome fool

will look up top hsop
yes need attitude that's it. Rock on.

Think long cardi down to floor, skinny jeans to fold in spare skin, rainswept face and big clompers to stump about in WITH ATTITUDE. This is my decidedly winter look.

If you got links anybody post up as am very uncool not knowing about good shops anymore

I've just been quietly lusting after these - clumpy enough?

I too have decided skinny jeans and long cardi are the way to go for winter, but can I find the cardi anywhere? Have seen a lovely one in Markies but is only hip-length

Ask the mum where she got her boots (hopefully she won't think she's got herself a stalker...)

All good and so nearly yet...

I want boots with teeth!

would ask the mum in due course, can not go up to her as stranger because I know will look like a total creep.

I'm getting a Bench cardi I think.

Have you browsed the DM site BlackEyed? There are loads of chunky heeled boots on there.

oo actually madamant I think you are onto something with DM's.

Like those Anna888. They are soft looking as in comfortable. And I need comfortable.

blackeyedog all i see around me are knee length cardies. gap is a major offender.

clompy stompy boots come from places like schuh and really expensive ones from italy but they are about £300 and you will be buried in them.

I got a good clumpy brown pair from Russell and Bromley but they don't seem to have a proper website. Those brown Doc Matrens are great.

you can get different rocket dog ones a bit like undercover's from next online. they've got suede bits.

REALLY?????????????
Now, here the bad news, they are about 70 quid, and I got black leathery looking ones and they only lasted about 3 months. 6 because I dont mind looking skanky, but they did fall apart, well the leathery looking material ripped and was paper thin, tough boot still under that and I covered it with boot polish and I am gutted.
However, I love them, and will be buying a new pair for this winter, as for 6 months wear its about 3 quid a week
